The beautiful large building on Navoi Avenue was built in 1940 according to the design of architect Stefan Nikolaevich Polupanov for the Tashkent Regional Executive Committee.
The building consists of a four-story
central section with an auditorium and main entrance featuring columns, as well
as two three-story side wings with semi-circular entrances, also decorated with
columns.
Instead of the Executive Committee, the
Variety Theater was placed in the central section. In the early 1970s, the
Russian Youth Theater staged performances here; now, the Youth Theater of
Uzbekistan operates in it.
The right wing houses the Alisher Navoi
Literature Museum, founded in 1939 to mark the 500th anniversary of the poet’s
birth.
After the advent of television, a TV
repair atelier operated in this building, accepting orders for tuning
television receivers and repairing radios and televisions.
In front of the building, there is a
square with a monument to Alisher Navoi.
